How do you manage necessary updates to an iconic landmark like the San Antonio River Walk without disrupting its function? That’s the concept behind this Practical Engineering video, which shows how the city removed and replaced two control gates for the River Walk without ever changing the water level. It’s a neat view both into the engineering of civil water infrastructure and into the practical considerations of how construction on these systems works. (Video credit: Practical Engineering)
